Actually, this is a good point. For one thing, I think follow-on suits won't even get past the D.C. Circuit. Odds are the SCOTUS won't want another 2A case soon, so they'll just deny cert when the Circuit slaps D.C.'s wrists and allow the lower court ruling to stand.

If D.C. goes through a round or two of this, the Brady Bunch will be begging Fenty to stop before every form of gun control gets shot down...
